Great weekend

We had a great weekend away as a family here. The house was perfect, small but very clean and cute - just right for us and our kids. Loved hearing the water outside the window and enjoying the deck in the evenings. Close to many different activities. Would definitely stay at here again.

Gorgeous cottage

We stayed here with our twins and absolutely loved it. Gorgeous views of Cayuga Lake with a hot tub you can enjoy the view from. Thoughtful details and convenient amenities throughout the home and property that really elevated the experience. Hosts were very communicative and pleasant. This property has direct access to the lake which we didn’t use but would love to during warmer months. Would love to come back and stay here again.

Great location & great amenities

The property is beautiful and has everything you need for a lake getaway. In addition to the brand new interior and perfect stay accommodations, we loved the large deck, bbq, hot tub, and areas to relax. We really appreciated having access to canoes, SUPs, water floats as well as life vests for everyone in the family. The house location was great with a short drive into Ithaca for restaurants and access to groceries, etc.

Loons

The property is fantastic. It surpassed all of our expectations and made our trip very special. Focal points were the hot tub, unique furnishings, lake views, and plenty of loons seen from the deck.

Amazing location and stunning property

Ellie and Chris' cottage is spectacular! The location was perfect to explore the local wineries, hiking and cuisine of Ithaca. The cottage itself was such a welcoming, clean, organized and beautiful place both inside and out. The water was so clear and clean for swimming and paddleboarding. And of course the large hot tub was perfect to relax in. The hosts were also generous with offering local insight into their favourite places to eat, drink and hike! I would highly recommend staying at this place and would definitely book again.

Nice, cozy and comfortable place with breath taking view

We stayed for three nights. Even before the the check-in, Chris was great communicating with us, the check-in was simple and easy. The place is like its just been renovated, clean and is really pretty and functional. The pillows were so comfortable it was hard to get up in the morning. Hot tub was so nice and clean and the jet was awesome. The lake is so pretty and the deck was a great spot to just sit and do nothing. Highly recommended.

First time at Lake Cayuga - perfect house!

What a great house to rent for our first visit. Super close to Ithaca so driving, boating, uber are all easy ways to get to great restaurants. The house is newly renovated and super clean. The giant deck makes for a very enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere. Great air conditioning and super comfortable beds. Host is super helpful and always available to answer questions. We will be back!!

Great house, great hosts!

We had a fantastic few days on the lake! House and furnishings are new and clean. Kids had fun in the lofted space. Loved having access to kayaks and paddleboards. Close to both Ithaca downtown and lake activities. And the house was stocked with the necessities - we didn’t need to bring anything. Thanks Chris and Ellie! We’d love to come back.

A perfect piece to relax and recharge, with all the great necessary to enjoy the lake

From first to last, the house was great. Everything is new. Fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor Blackstone (giant griddle) grill. Hot tub was perfect respite after some hikes. Best part, though, was phalanx of kayaks and paddle boards. We all got out on the water. Perhaps surprisingly, our adult kids were just fine sharing the bedroom which includes one bed and two separate upper bunk beds. So no need to set up the sofa bed in the main room.

Loved it!

We stayed here while on a family vacation visiting Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region. The house is super clean and nice (basically brand new), private, and in a great location (<10 minutes from Ithaca). All bedding/pillows/towels are good quality. There's a stairway from the back deck down to the waterfront and we enjoyed swimming and kayaking (with the provided kayaks and stand up paddleboards). We also enjoyed the hot tub (new and clean), and just taking in the view! There are good hiking trails with waterfalls in the area, and also good places for meals in Ithaca. Ithaca Bakery was a frequent stop for breakfast/lunch, and The Boatyard Grill was our favorite for dinner (here's a tip: they don't take "reservations" but if you call after 3PM they take "call aheads" for a specific time that night, though we ended up waiting 20 minutes even with that). We loved the house and the area and would stay here again!
